iPhone 17 keyboard sensitivity issues

Has anyone else noticed on their iPhone 17 air that if you have both a screen protector and a phone case, the keyboard does not work well? For me specifically, the left side of my keyboard does not press well. But if I just have one or the other (screen protector or case) then it works fine. I’ve tested this with multiple cases and multiple screen protectors and I still keep having the same issues when I have never had an issue with any other iPhones before.

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Was the screen protector supplied by Apple store? The Air is a new drastically thin phone that may not be designed for the extra glass thickness.

I have an issue with the keyboard and how some apps display. The keyboard doesn't display in full. If you start typing a letter on the far left enough times, the keyboard shifts to display the rest of the letters. Another example is in Mail. The full Mail screen isn't viewable. The very bottom is inaccessible.


I was wondering if there's a display or accessibility option that can adjust it.


A screen protector and case is a must-have for my phone.
